Accessibility Testing Techniques, Issues and Tricks

" summary

Projects for a large financial institution reveal concrete outcomes: automated and manual runs using NVDA plus a Chrome plugin uncover 40+ issues per site, most fixed by adding keyboard focus, ARIA labels and contrast tweaks. The team builds an accessibility test plan early, wires checks into user stories and sprints, measures screen‑reader and keyboard paths, and reduces regressions. Configuration cost for screen readers is high, so lightweight plugins and color‑contrast checkers become practical tradeoffs.
